DEEP SEA EXPLORATIONS
Show that the Depths Contain Wonder
full Vegetable Life.

iuh NekothDto Lhcs
An appreciative audience assembled at
Carroll Institute yesterdiy evening to hear
Prof. Sanderson Smith, the naturalist OF
the United States fish commission, on
"Deep Sea Explorations" The professor
referred TO the idea held by poets Of old
that the depths contained beautiful caves
and wonderful peri. Scientific research,
however, has shown the depths to contain
wonderful animal and vegetable life. He
then described the crude methods en-
ployed until late years in obtaining sound.
ings, many Of the improvements being due
to Prof. Agasiz. Twenty years ago the
depths were comparatively unknown.
Thirty years ago the best authorities con-
greater depth than 1000 feet,
while It Is now known that there
ia abundant life on the bottom. The depths
have been sounded for a distance Of five
miles, the average depth of the ocean being
two and half miles. He then gave de-
tailed account Of the manner Of obtaining
soundipgs, the varied temperatures at given
depths, and the expeditions sent out, and
referred to the prominent position taken
and still held by America on the subject. 1t
was supposed that animals inhabiting the
depths would differ from those found near
the surface owing to the great pressure of
the water, but research had shown that the
pressure had no effect, while change In
temperature effected an entire change In
animal life form. The professor then gave
some curious "Reminiscences while dredg-
ing. At one time the dredge brought
up case Of leather shoes, at another a
rubber baby, and on another Chinaman.
A quantity Of bricks and mortar was the
result OF one haul, while another brought
up quantity OF resin. A curious fact is
that, although thousands OF whales, sharks,
and large fish die annually, in all his dredg-
ing experience Of over twenty years not
more than q bucketful Of bones had been
brought to the surface, the suppostion be-
ing they were devoured.
A vote of thanks was rendered the pro.
fessor by the faculty.
Next Thursday evening DR.. EN-. Schaefel
will give q descriptive lecture on "The

everywhere, he had obtained the posi-

family; after leaving his comrades he
found himself alUnu in the world with
out any one to love, therefore he began
TO cherish the graves and monuments
confided to his keeping.
Little by little they became his whole
life; he considered them as his own
property, knew by heart all the in
scriptions recently painted on the hum

stones. His tombs were his family,
bis friends, his regiment! and in their
midst he promenaded slowly; habit
uated to the sound Of his steps on the
